• Portege M300 (PPM30A) - lost access to HARD drive recovery

  Portege M300 model PPM30A-02E001.
  At some point during the installation a Sony camera I lost access to my hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) where I can make the recovery disks.

  I can see it in disk management tools, but the link is missing.

  Is there a way I can make the link? "Brand recovery disc" icon is gone as well.

  Please, I beg you.

  Hello

  Wait a moment, please: why you write about on the hidden partition HARD drive recovery? I think you mixed up something!
  On Vista and Windows 7, there is a hidden partition, but it has nothing to do with the option HDDrecovery from Toshiba. This on the hidden partition is a feature of Windows, also called Windows recovery environment!

  Normally HDDrecovery files are stored on the second partition in a file of the same name. Can you access the second partition?

  If this isn't the case, I think the only chance is to order a new recovery disk. Therefore, you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

  Hello Andrew

  The situation with the Portege M300 is a bit complicated, but I'll try to explain. Portege M300 (I believe only in Germany) is delivered without Recovery DVD and also Tools & Utilities CD. The two of them can be created by the user, but only if the appliance is preinstalled at the factory. The unit of the factory preinstalled with original image contains a tool called Recovery Disc Creator. With this tool, you can create the two media. There is no way to do it without this tool.

  Unfortunately this tool you can not find on the Toshiba download page. Because of this, you can keep that partition on the HARD drive but it has no sense at all. You have your own OS preinstalled without Recovery Disc Creator.

  There are two solutions:
  1. you can format entire HARD drive, create clean partitions and install own OS using all things, that you can find on the Toshiba download page.
  2 contact authorized please partner in your country. They may try to order the original DVD of recovery for you. If this recovery DVDs is not available the service partner can make factory settings again but with costs.

  That s all I know Portege M300 and preinstalled software. If you have any other questions, please write again.

  Good luck!

  Hello. I really want to create a disc of recovery for my Portege M300 and know I have to do it via Toshiba Assist but really need a step by step idiots guide to know exactly what to do. I tried to put a CD to write but it rejects it-if I have to use floppy disks he will not take the charges or have I missed something.

  Oh dear - you get the idea that I am a complete numpty and need a guide very clear step by step as to exactly what I need to do. I have had problems in the past and had need of these disks and so hated to do anything on this laptop until I have the appropriate recovery disks.

  Thank you in advance.
  Rachel

  I put t know what is the problem.
  Go with Toshiba and select the Protect & Fix tab.
  You will find the option recovery disk creator

  So if you want to recovery and tools & utility CD you must mark.
  (When you use the CD it of necessary to use the CD with storage capacity of 80 min 700MB)

  After selecting the recovery CD or DVD and product, you simply have to burn the media.

• Product is complete recovery - Toshiba Portege M300 does not start

  Hello.

  I have a Portege M300 Toshiba I got again in 2006. It has progressively slower over the years, so yesterday, I thought I would use the product recovery CD to reinstall the factory settings.

  Put the CD in restarted with F12, selected CD player, follow the instructions on the screen, he went through unpacking process... but once completed and handed over to market get you the Toshiba welcome screen then it seems that it will start, but it blocks just with a white screen... nothing not even a cursor flashing.

  The hard disk does not even appear to be spinning?
  I tried this process now 6 times and I'm starting to pull my hair!

  Anyone got any ideas?

  > The hard disk does not appear still to be spinning?
  Well, it looks like a disc is defective.
  The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  I think that you need to replace the HARD drive and should reinstall the OS once more

  Good luck

• Portege M300 - Ubuntu, bootmgr error

  Hi guys,.

  I hope you can help, I spent 2 days reading similar posts, but nothing seems to work.

  I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive (using my Vista machine). Can I boot Ubuntu from my Vista machine without any problem.

  However, I now want to use this hard drive Ubuntu in my new NetBook (for me). (Toshiba, Portege, M300). However when I install my Ubuntu HD in this machine I get the infamous error "bootmgr is missing". I REALLY hate this error now.

  So I did my research and give EACH of them thinking that I should use my Vista recovery DVDs for this problem. Why the hell do I need to use a Vista CD when it comes to pure Ubuntu installation?

  Can someone give me some ideas? Computers laptop Toshiba require Bootmgr (i.e. an installation of windows?)

  Please PLEASE help,
  Marc

  PS thanks in advance...

  You don't need a special boot manager, Linux should start very well after a successful installation.

  Did you delete all partitions on the HARD disk before you install Linux?

  It seems that the Windows boot sector is still installed.

• Cannot read DVD on flea market Portege M300

  Hello.

  I wonder if someone can help me. I bought an flea market portege M300 and it's fine - however I could not create recovery discs that the option was not on the section Protect and Fix on Toshiba Assist.
  Now, I can't read the DVD.

  I guess that sort of resettlement was made but not with the toshiba recovery discs and so I can see I can play DVD CD or burn CDs. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should do. Toshiba send me a recovery disc for the machine and so I was wondering if they would be on these discs and if I should wait until they arrive.

  Thank you, best regards,.

  Hello

  Does the drive support the function of burning?

  You can try to enter in the properties of the drive and select the recording tab.
  The option activate write to this drive must be marked.

  On the Toshiba Recovery CD, you will find an image with preinstalled operating system and all the Toshiba drivers needed and utility.
  If you want to watch DVDs if you need special software such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
  These are applications of DVD player. I guess the WinDVD must be preinstalled on the image.
  To burn a CD s, you are also burning software. I advise to use a Nero.
  For me this is one of the best burning applications.

  You should try using different media. You should know that not all media are compatible and supported.

  You bought this laptop as a second hand unit, so it is possible that the drive is bad. Sometimes, if the drive cannot burn or read some of the media due to the error of calibration of lens. In this case there are not a lot to do to replace the drive.

  Hello!

  It's not easy to say what are the causes of the problem, but as said Akuma, test the RAM with Memtest86.
  Download the image, burn it to a disc and start from it.

  Automatic restart, you can also disable in Windows.
  My computer-properties-Advanced online online => startup and recovery settings => remove the mark to restart automatically.

  Sometimes, this problem is caused by the HARD drive. You can test with the Test Drive for physical fitness.

• Portege M300 - do not have the Internet with IE 8

  I have a Toshiba Portege M300 that worked fine until I updated to Explorer 8. After the update, I can't open the web pages, but the antivirus program continues to download the updates, so there seems to be a link. I have uninnstalled Explorer 8, but still can not put online.
